    ok, I got the IF THEN statement to compile in one of my other codes. As for this remote controller car, how would I got about controlling two DC or three DC rumble motors from an xbox 360 controller? I really wanted one that you can control the speed on but dang...those cost a lot and for something like this, I don't want to blow my money on little 2 in x 2 in things that cost over $100.

    Anyways, I'm guessing PWM is not an option on these? How about pulsout? I just want to make these things make the car go forward, reverse, stop (if possible), and have a 3rd small one controll the steering of the front tires. The motors would have separate power sources from the pic chip. I believe the guidelines said to not use over 5 or so volts in total...I can bring extra batteries and I only need the car to operate for a few minutes. I am guessing a tripple A for the front motor and 2-3 double A's for the pic and two back motors. Maybe add some other components to make the whole thing work. But this is the idea for now. Oh, I have a few 16F684 chips and 16F636, 16F616 and an 18F that I never used. I usually buy 100's of 12F683 though :P.

    I like the 12F683 and the 16F684 because they both have the same modules and stuff. The datasheets are practically similar...except the 16F has 14 pins. So, this is the pic I want to use.

    sooo, what are my options?
